Abstract excerpt
An aberrant elongated tract of glutamine residues (polyQ) in proteins induces multiple diseases treated in the clinic. In our previous study of progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME), using whole‑exome sequencing, a mutant Cav2.1 protein with an aberrant elongated polyQ tract was identified in PME patients. To investigate the molecular mechanism and cell biology of this aberrant elongated polyQ tract, wild‑type...
